The best cornettos we've had in Italy so far. Home made pastries and pies as well. Great service on a relatively quiet street. Very enjoyable.

It is lovely stop at Vivaldi in Florence! The coffee was great, but what made the experience really special was the super friendly barista. She was so kind and welcoming—it made my day. Big thanks to her for the warm hospitality!

Nice cafe with seating. Cheap and delicious gelato and good prices on the coffee. Great stop off on the way to Piazzale Michelangelo.

Second time here after a long 6 year hiatus from the last visit. A nostalgic return, maybe, but an excellent one. The cakes are great and the service is very good. Very nice and courteous staff with a very atmospheric sitting room in the back. Creamy and soft cheese cake with an americano coffee for 5.30 euro. Love this place.

Lovely cafe with a super friendly service and quality offer. We stopped by for a coffee and spritz on the way for the sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo, which I strongly recommend! :)
